    Starfield - Fallout fallout that isn't ES6

    eh, I liked everything but the story. There were plenty of issues, though. Was Skyrim nominated?

    2023 AssHat Voting round 4!

    It's going to be difficult to thread the needle here, and I am going to have to break some of my own rules to get to an acceptable (I hope) outcome. In the Game of Asshats, you win or someone you don't want to win wins...or something. Needs some work. Araysar vs. Ambiturner- May keep Foler...

    I think they know what made this show good and IIRC they have a good relationship with Lee Childs as well. I mean, nothing lasts forever and maybe this season or the next sucks but we aren't looking at a Netflix Witcher situation here at least.

    2023 AssHat Voting round 3

    Alterations can and have been made in the spirit of competition. But both want it and thus neither should get it.

    2023 AssHat Voting round 3

    Araysar vs. Lightning Lord Rule- Giving Araysar what he wants; maybe he's playing 5-D chess but this is checkers. Ambiturner vs. Lanx-Lanx won't win, +Lanx Pharmakos vs Boozecube-By our powers combined, Pharmacube! I already voted for Pharma once. BC gets some bad boy clout. Tuco vs. Foler- Not...

    If I had a reason to vote for you, I voted for you; If I had a reason to vote against you (i.e. not an asshat) I didn't vote for you.

    Destiny 2 - Clan Link 1st Post

    I thought I was the only one; Destiny 2 did a bunch of great things but I loved launch Destiny so much. Then the GAAS weighed them down and they Soap Operaed the shit out of the lore. Lightfall is some embarrassing non-Bungie shit from the company that did Halo, Myth, Oni, Marathon, etc.

    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    Taking a break from Starfield after hitting max narrative stupidity and came back to this for because some RL friends are still playing. Its improved in a number of areas, seasonal story isn't bad, XP is better, S2 powers aren't bad, horse, et al. They aren't nerfing builds flat everywhere...

    Starfield - Fallout fallout that isn't ES6

    I watched the YouTube for all the Unique Universes. It's like they read my comment about Marvel What If's (stop) and said, "Hell nah! We can do a WAY shittier version of that." And then they did. They had 10 months/7 Years to polish design the game, No one thought to do this for initial...

    Starfield - Fallout fallout that isn't ES6

    Note: I haven't done this quest myself. I have been told by a RL friend who chose CF that now the UC Sysdef are hostile in random encounters and that's it. Nothing else he noticed in the rest of the game; UC Vanguard is an entirely different faction, No one on Jameson cares, although it would...

    " I have looked through a thousand turds and this one smells the best! It's the least shitty turd of the bunch! Now let me equip it! <A thousand turds rain down from the sky> Bloody hell!" Agree with everyone saying until they get rid of 50-60% of the affixes, improve loot overall but...

    Starfield - Fallout fallout that isn't ES6

    This might have been a good final DLC "Temple of the Creators" or something but to have it be the MSQ of the first game of a new IP is the dumbest thing of which I can think. It's far more stupid than becoming the head of every guild or whatever the narrative belief stretchers were in the Elder...

    Starfield - Fallout fallout that isn't ES6

    You're thinking about the game. Think instead about what it does to the world. Forget about creating bases or relationships or building status with factions for anything for future content, it kills your character in THAT UNIVERSE FOREVER. YOU'RE DEAD. In fact, from your perspective, IT KILLS...

    Starfield - Fallout fallout that isn't ES6

    I haven't finished the main quest but I have thoughts, having finally spoiled it for myself after 200+ hours of playing the game: So NG+ mechanic effectively kills the Starfield Universe narratively. It should have been an option, something tucked off to the side in a hidden quest that you...

    I have had a thing where I with the new AMD drivers and the new Starfield update patch I not only have to delete the Pipeline.cache but also have to clear the DX cache or I start getting random crashes to desktop, without any kind of driver timeout/ windows event viewer/Game log recording the...

    Starfield - Fallout fallout that isn't ES6

    The only time I have died outside space combat at level 4 when level 14 bounty hunters showed up as part of the Wanted trait (hence my wanting to redo traits, I wasn't ready to do space combat and was getting those missions every 5-10 jumps) was recently on a quest on a level 55 planet "Project...

    That's a good point. I haven't done any console commands except to try to redo the character creation to reset the Traits after playing for 7-8 levels; I didn't want to start over. I didn't get any of the traits I wanted, it just killed the one I had already picked /shrug. One of the main...

    Starfield - Fallout fallout that isn't ES6

    It's Skyrim but different, with different worlds rather than one continuous world and a bunch of different environments and conditions and low gravity and creatures and if a team in Sweden could make it two years, they would have done so already. The game is fun but has tons of issues and is...

    Just to be clear, because the headline of the article isn't , the Sarah Voice actress is on the right looking like exactly Andreja and the Andreja Voice actress is on the Left, looking so much like Sarah. Also, the Andreja voice actress is American. Now I wish to reverse my choices. Sarah...

    Starfield - Fallout fallout that isn't ES6

    This was something I thought as well early on: Mass Effect did a much better job of presenting a large space-faring but we are seeing the tension between Skyrim-in-space "Open World" and Mass Effect very clear closed zones. The conceit, however, is just to accept that there is more there; The...

    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    I think I said this very thing on the cusp of release; when the debate was raging about the play testing and balance and longevity of the game, I said we should play it as long as it is fun and stop when it isn't. What became clear was Blizzard design efforts to make the game take longer, have...

    No respec, which I think they justify because there is no level cap. Fake Edit: I see you and others found this out already. The only good thing about using the Lodge is it lets me work on my weight lifting challenge by loading up resources and then sprinting back to the Lodge super over burdened.

    I had this a similar-ish experience in "Deserted Science Facility/Lab": Robots say humans are not welcome and they are going to attack/terminate. I think, "well, ok, if you are going aggro, no time like the present." I kill them all. Andreja gets SUPER pissed and aggressive, wants to leave, I...

    Starfield - Fallout fallout that isn't ES6

    The "git gud" part is learning the UI, which re-uses the tap/long press combos controls intended for limited buttons on controllers remapped directly on PC, for actions we haven't needed before in a Bethesda game. It's been a long time since I have seen a game so divisive in its reception, with...

    I get what you are saying about Ender's Game but I always read the tone and the ending as a soldier's regret, rather than Progressive/liberal/SJW/Marxist one. I was young when I read it and have never revisited it, so that may have been my 14 year old interpretation. Cool personal thing about...

    I hadn't heard this but Ut mentioned that spaceflight had been redone; perhaps that is why there aren't those things, which are pretty common in Eve Online (which one would expect, given its entirely ship driven). Perhaps they just decided to hold off on the Ship stuff for an expansion and...

    90s songs that were OK the first time, but gave you cancer after they were played nonstop for months

    I just skimmed the thread but the big allure of "Fast Car" in the late 80's was the killer bass line; we used it to test out our 12" and 15" subs and amps. I still remember not how the music sounded (although really who can forget) but the sound it caused the metal in the doors and trunks of...
